■ Contract Overview

The “AQUA PARK SHINAGAWA” opened in April 2005 within Shinagawa Prince Hotel as an urban-style aquarium. Since then it has been enjoyed by many, including those living in neighboring areas as well as tourists from within Japan and abroad alike. In July 2015, it was reborn as a facility that transcends the category of “aquarium” and provides state-of-the-art healing and astonishment abundant in creativity and versatility, fusing performances using “sound, light and images” with marine life. This was in order to actualize the “entertainment town” that Shinagawa Prince Hotel aims for, one that transcends the framework of hotels in line with the city development of Shinagawa. It has developed content that differs night and day and between seasons, continuing to evolve as “Tokyo’s Cutting-Edge Entertainment”.

Maxell Holdings, Ltd. entered into their second establishment, changing their company name as of October 1, 2017. Accompanying this, “Within, the Future” was newly established as the brand slogan in order to establish the Maxell brand as one that can be trusted and counted upon.

This slogan represents the corporate vision that the company, which has delivered emotion to stakeholders through new added-value in response to various needs, will stick close to people even in the future through “the power to connect” and “the power to be connected” delivering never-before-seen surprises with these two strengths. The domain of “people’s surroundings” such as “light”, “air”, “water” and “sound” is the business domain where this company can make use of their core competence. They will create synergy with the “AQUA PARK SHINAGAWA”, including a Maxell-brand projector to color light shows.

At this time, two companies who stand by people and share the common sentiment of delivering surprise and emotion to people have formed a partnership. Alongside the new name, “Maxell AQUA PARK SHINAGAWA”, they aim to create an entertainment facility loved by even more people.
